Recovery of Mercury

There are many electricity generation or distribution sub-station sites
that have transformer temperature monitoring instruments using a mercury filled bulb sensing system.
These can be problematic when it comes to replace these types of instruments.

Accurate Controls can arrange to visit the site and carry out a survey.
We can determine if the system is a mercury filled one and advise on
the best course of action to safely evacuate and isolate the systems.

We can also advise if it will be necessary to dispose of any
mercury tilt switches that are fitted.

Accurate Controls is fully equipped with mercury vapour rated respirators
and specialist mercury spill kits which are used to carry out such operations.

Recycling of Mercury

We provide UN approved sealed container/s into which we place all items
contaminated or filled with mercury that will be removed from site.

A registered mercury recycling contractor is then arranged to come to site
and picked up the sealed container/s. These are then taken to their
facilities for safe extraction and recycling of the mercury.

All necessary hazardous waste transfer
documentation will be provided. On request, we can also provide a
full audit trail for all materials collected and recycled which will
satisfy the requirements under ISO9000 and ISO14000.
